Exit Keir Starmer

​

Over the last several months, things have become quite difficult for British PM Keir Starmer, to put it mildly. First, he tried to flex his minuscule muscles at President Trump by denying any support in the first days of the Iran War 

He refused the US Air Force to land at Diego Garcia, which caused a rift in the “Special Relationship” which King Charles finally repaired. Somewhat.

Then, protests broke out against the continued illegal immigration policies which he ignored. Then, reports of rapes and beatings by Muslim men hit  the wires, which caused more outrage when he continued to ignore it.

Last month, the Reform Party, led by Nigel Farage, made huge gains in Parliament by winning over 1,000 seats.

Now,  Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reportedly set to resign Monday, though sources close to him contend he’s focused on the job.

Starmer is said to be discussing his political future with his wife, Victoria, before laying out a timetable for his departure from 10 Downing Street next week, according to The Observer.

The news comes after Starmer rival Andy Burnham won a seat in parliament in a special election in Greater Manchester.

Burnham, who has made two previous runs at heading the Labour Party, is said to have the support of over half the Labour MPs to mount a leadership challenge to Starmer, the outlet reported. 

The two are set to meet next week.

“Keir has realised the game is up and it’s got to be a graceful exit,” a senior Labour figure told Reuters The Observer. 

“What he rightly wants to avoid is humiliation, but the worst humiliation for Keir personally would be if he stands in a leadership election and is heavily beaten.”

His popularity polls are in the sewer. His most recent polls show him with only a 23% approval rating, while he is rated at 69% disapproval. Even the British recognize a failure when they see it.

The longer he he clings to power, the more frustrated Brits are becoming. Even Neville Chamberlain never was hated by so many as Starmer is.

And if he stays, he will drag the UK into the toilet with him.
